NDDC projects: Akpabio faults Nwaoboshi
Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, and former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, on Tuesday refuted allegations by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, on claims that Minister wrote personal letters to him when he was Senate Minority Leader, requesting for Niger Delta Development Commission’s intervention projects in his senatorial district.
However, the Chief Press Secretary to Akpabio, Anietie Ekong, in a statement in Abuja has dismissed Nwaoboshi’s the allegations. “Senator Peter Nwaoboshi’s press briefing in which he alleged that my boss had written to him as a member of the Committee on Niger Delta to request for NDDC contracts to the tune of N500 million is false. Nothing could be further from the truth,” Ekong said.
He further urged Nwaoboshi to respond to some of the grievous allegations made against him by the Interim Management Committee of the NDDC, that he wrecked the Commission’s budget apart for his personal benefits.
